Revised Version 1895

Psalms 31:9-16

9Have mercy uponH3027 meH5462, O LORD, for I am in distressH3027: mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

10For my lifeH5315 is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing: my strengthH5315 faileth becauseH3588 of mine iniquity, and my bones are wastedH6244 awayH6244.

11BecauseH3588 of allH3615 mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yeaH3588, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see meH3615 without fled from meH3615.

12I am forgotten as a dead manH3605 outH4480 of mindH3045: I am like a broken vessel.

13For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: whileH1961 they tookH1961 counsel together against meH7911, they devised to takeH1961 away my lifeH4191.

14But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I saidH8085, Thou art my God.

15My times are in thy hand: deliver meH5921 from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute meH5921.

16MakeH3027 thy face to shine uponH3027 thy servant: saveH5337 meH7291 in thy lovingkindness.
